Searching information in a Geographical Information System (GIS) usually imposes that users explore pre-compiled category catalogs and select the types of information they are looking for. Unfortunately, that approach is challenging because it forces people to adhere to a conceptualization of the information space that might be different from their own. In order to address this issue, we propose to support textual search as the basic interaction model, exploiting linguistic information, together with category exploration, for query interpretation and expansion. This paper describes our model and its adoption in the OnToMap Participatory GIS.

Abstract

Searching information in a Geographical Information System (GIS) usually imposes that users explore pre-compiled category catalogs and select the types of information they are looking for. Unfortunately, that approach is challenging because it forces people to adhere to a conceptualization of the information space that might be different from their own. In order to address this issue, we propose to support textual search as the basic interaction model, exploiting linguistic information, together with category exploration, for query interpretation and expansion. This paper describes our model and its adoption in the OnToMap Participatory GIS.
